Houston was 67 years old and had been governor of Texas for two years when a Convention called for that purpose took Texas out of the Union early in 1861. Houston, though a slave owner and opposed to abolition, was a unionist, and refused to go along with secession. He was forced out of office in March, 1861, for refusing to take an Oath of Allegiance to the Confederacy, and replaced by the Lieutenant Governor. Houston had refused an offer from Lincoln of men to help prevent Texas secession, not wanting to see a civil war within the Civil War in Texas. Houston traveled to Galveston after leaving office and all along the way Texans wanted to hear from him why he had not supported the secession of Texas. He spoke to a crowd in April, 1861, from the window of his hotel room, and said that while he supported states rights, the north was determined to "preserve this union". He predicted that after years of struggle, costing millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives, the Confederacy might see its independence established "if God be not against you, but I doubt it." He forecast that the north would overwhelm the south. Houston held no further office and died at Hunstville, Texas two years later, in the midst of the war, without living to see his predictions fulfilled.
